| The query will be stored in the procedure cache, but not the results. You can get the query text via sys.dm_exec_sql_text and passing in the sql_handle. You can get the SQL_HANDLE from sys.dm_exec_query_stats, or sys.dm_exec_requests (maybe other places)-Chad |

Something like this will give you some details, but these are really management views; not stored into a table. So if you restart the server for example, you won't be able to get anything that happened before the restart.SELECT * FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text(sql_handle) YOu can filter and sort the results to fit your needs. |

| Many thanks Chad. Is the query stored permanently in the procedure cache?The reason I'm asking is I found some very suspicious behavior and would like to bring it to light but because of the nature of my management I wouldn't like it known that I ran a query to confirm my suspicions. I'd end up the bad guy if you know what I mean. |

| No, it will either be aged out of the procedure cache, or get flushed when SQL gets restarted (or the cache is flushed manually)-Chad |
